Overview
- TeamTalk reporting relayed by multiple outlets says Chelsea’s interest is real, yet the probability of a transfer this summer is described as slim.
- Sporting director Max Eberl indicated Bayern have sufficient defensive depth and named Kim among three centre-backs in their plans.
- Tottenham are also monitoring the situation, with Christian Falk reporting both London clubs would pounce only at the right price.
- Kim’s role has shrunk this season with 10 Bundesliga starts and four substitute appearances behind Dayot Upamecano and Jonathan Tah, though reports say he is comfortable in Munich.
- Financials are a major barrier, with wages reported around £200,000 per week or roughly a €15m annual package, making any deal contingent on a significant offer and the player’s stance.
